Guns N' Roses - There Was a Time lyrics

Broken glass and cigarettes writin'
On the wall
It was a bargain for the summer and
I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everythin'
The one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anythin'
One who can't recall
Where she was while she was
Sleepin' in another woman's bed
Or the doctor's, or the lawyer's
Or a stranger that she met
If there's nothin' I can gain from
This or anythin' at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me
When I thought I'd heard it all

It was a long time for you
It was a long time for me
It'd be a long time for anyone but
Looks like it's meant to be

Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California on the
Way to your next call
To those non-negotiations to simulate a cause
For the betterment of evils and
Your ways around the laws
That keep you up and sittin' pretty
On a pedestal or bed
An' now you're sleepin' like an angel
Never mind who you gave head
If there's somethin' I can make of
This or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser and
You thought you had it all

It was a wrong time for you
It was a wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for anyone, but
Looks like I got to see for myself

If I could go back in time
To the place in my soul
There, all alone, lonely teardrops, ooh
Are calling you
But I don't want to know it, now
'cause knowing you
It won't change a damn thing
But there was a time

Yeah, there was a time, I didn't wanna know
At all didn't wanna know, at all, and
I don't wanna know it, now
Yeah, there was a time, I didn't wanna know
At all didn't wanna know, at all, and
I don't wanna know it, now
I would do anything for you, there was a time
I would do anything for you
I would do anything for you, there was a time

There was a time, I would do anything for you
Ooh, I would do anything for you
(yeah, there was a time, I didn't wanna know
At all didn't wanna know, at all, and
I don't wanna know it, now)
I would do anything for you
(Didn't wanna know, at all
Didn't wanna know, at all, and
I don't wanna know it, now)
There was a time, there was a time
